I can write,proof and edit most styles and types of publications, from web content to marketing news and press releases, B2B and B2C articles and features, personality and company profiles, newsletters and email shots, travel articles,...

I am an independent research professional, editor and writer, and prefer to work on a freelance basis. Reliable, versatile and thourough, I prefer to underpromise and over-deliver.

Happy to provide a writing or proofreading service tailored to your needs. (Please see my portfolio for examples of previous work.)

Overall, I prefer to work to pre-agreed and realistic deadlines and with mimimum supervision. Whilst I am happy to reassure others that I am 'on the ball' and discuss any potential issues that arise, I prefer not to be micro-managed - I am a consummate professional and if I promise to do something, I deliver good quality, well-researched and engaging copy - on time and to budget.

I can also provide a research service, including case studies or interviews collected via telephone and e-mail; newspaper, television and film archive work; specialist library visits; advanced online journal or database searches, as well as academic journal research.

Areas of speciality include astrology and esoteric subjects, health & wellbeing, education, religion & philosophy, television and film archives, current affairs, popular culture, film and history.

I will not work on anything illegal or unethical, such as producing written work for course assignments.
